Japanese VCs are betting big on Indian startups but they prefer to stay out of the spotlight

Although Japan has a history of investing in infrastructure and manufacturing in India, of late, Japanese investors have started shifting the focus to the Indian startup ecosystem. SoftBank, Japan’s telecom and technology conglomerate, is leading the pack and is one of the biggest investors. In addition, Japanese investors have shown wide-ranging interest while putting in their money into Indian startups across e-commerce, hyperlocal, SaaS, automotive, transport, among others.
